Viola Bow By W E Dörfler

For more than three generations Dörfler have been producing bows with superior craftsmanship and in the style of the great master, Tourte. Daniel Dörfler, founder of the company, set himself the task of bringing the German bow construction to the Tourte level of quality.
Egidius Dörfler has made the master workshop what it is today by means of perfection, high quality standards and artistic intuition. lt is for this reason that the master bows bear his name.

Dörfler master bows exercise a maximum of influence on sound, purity, strength and tone. lt is only the Dörfler master bow which enables the art of playing to be put into its true Light.
Caused by the conctact with this bow, the string Instrument player can influence the process of the first stroke of the bow in so many ways, that tonal effect and transitions through all levels of the tonal strength result in the desired effects. lt is no wonder that more and more musicians select a Dörfler master bow. The appreciation of the Dörfler master bows characteristics is certainly the most important reason for this.

The Dörfler master bow is a handmade high-quality product. The most superior selected materials are a guarantee for a long life.
Only pernambuco wood which always meets the high demand for quality with respect to pliability and elasticity is used. This is a prerequiste for the masterly art of giving the bow the greatest possible elasticity while assuring the ideal weight by means of precise bending.
The set of string consists exclusively of natural white horse-hair from selected prairie horses of central Asia, hair which does not wave or become brittle.
The decorative mountings made of mother-of-pearl or precious metals on the nonporous ebony frog are not a luxury, but valuable refinements which give the Dörfler master bows the appropriate appearance and a long life.
